After I download windowblind skins how do I load them.

Seems after downloading windowblind skins, all I get is a zip file. How do I install the skin?

Hi, Alphaomega, I'm fairly new to all this myself and still have much to learn, but I downloaded Objectzip from Stardock and the file self-installs to the Windowblinds folder. Whether or not this is the reason I'm not sure, but you could try it. Alternatively, when your download finishes, unzip it to C: (if that's your main drive)>program files>Stardock>Windowblinds. Hope this helps solve your problem

If you download a zip, you would have to open the zip file and find the .wba file that should be inside. Doubleclick the .wba file and it should self install.

Sometimes the .wba file gets renamed to .zip. If you unzip the file and there is no .wba inside, just a bunch of files, rename the .zip to .wba and then double click it. That's another thing that happens, so keep that one in mind too.
